Let’s be honest – anyone can be a horrible ex, regardless of their zodiac sign. But there are a few star signs that make exes notorious. The twelve signs are divided into three ways or ways of expressing their energies. The four “fixed” personality traits do some of the worst things because fixed traits are persistent, stubborn, and determined – and they have a hard time accepting change and letting go. Based on these qualities alone, it’s easy to see why fixated signs can cause problems like exes. However, the reasons why we end a relationship with one of these stars are different. Here are four zodiac signs that make exes nightmares, and why breaking up with them is so difficult.
Taurus: They Won’t Let You Go
Not only is Taurus a fixed sign, but it is also the zodiac represented by the bull, a notoriously stubborn creature. This means that Taurus is one of the stubborn and intolerant star signs. It is very necessary for them to start breaking up because they like to be free, and a big life change like ending a relationship scares them.
So, if you throw them away, they are hard to get rid of. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, so this star sign knows what to say and do to try to win you back. And they won’t give up, putting more effort into getting you back than they did in the relationship. They may carry on as if the breakup never happened, continuing to show up on dates or send you gifts as usual – which can be scary, depending on the circumstances.
Taurus exes are a nightmare because you can’t get over them, and you’ll find yourself second-guessing your decision to end the relationship.
Leo: They Hurt Your Ego
Leos can make great partners, thanks to their endless optimism and big, generous hearts. But they can also make terrible exes. Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is responsible for the excitement and warmth of this zodiac. It also means that Leos think that the world revolves around them. They can be quite selfish, and very selfish.
If you abandon a Leo, it not only breaks their heart, but – perhaps worse, because of this star – it hurts their ego. They will try to hide it and make it seem like the breakup is no big deal to them, both to protect their pride and to make you second guess the relationship. They’ll also make sure you know when they’ve moved on, and they’ll want to move on faster than you do.
Leos are nightmare exes because they will want to hurt you too after their pride is hurt. And they’ll move on so quickly and irrationally that you’ll wonder if you meant anything to them in the first place.
Scorpio: They take revenge
Scorpios are very passionate lovers, and that passion does not end after a breakup. If you dump them, it’s going to be a long, painful time when they cry for the relationship and try anything to get you back. This is hard enough on its own to go through – but it’s nothing compared to the Scorpio who decided to take revenge.
Scorpio is one of the most vengeful signs of the zodiac, which is why you never want to get on their bad side. If you break their heart, they will find a worse way to break yours back – it will be ten times worse than you can imagine, and it will come when you least expect it. It’s almost unbelievable how incredibly cunning this star sign can be when it comes to revenge.
Scorpios are nightmare exes because they never move on until they feel like karma has been delivered, and they are more than happy to be the appointed agents of karma.
Aquarius: They Keep Coming Back
As a very guarded and non-traditional star sign, it’s surprising to find an Aquarius to commit to a relationship in the first place. Aquarians are part of the zodiac; they are brilliant innovators who always come up with amazing ideas and innovative ways of doing things. But at the same time, they too emphasize by being unconventional, and that means escaping many relationship norms, too.
Regardless of who initiated the breakup, the Aquarius ex will continue to circle back to you under the guise of wanting to be “friends.” They always seem to know when you’re ready to move on, or when you’re thinking about them lovingly, and that’s exactly where they come from again. You may go months without hearing from them, only to be ready for a date with someone else when they finally text you back. And the “friendship” they want isn’t just friendship – it leads to the gray space of pretending to be in love again but without commitment.
Aquarians are nightmare exes because they know how to stay in your life while giving you the bare minimum. No matter who you broke up with, you will have to be the one to hold on tight and finally let them go for good.
